My Contemplation

Sach ka Samna the reality show on television was a big hit. Have you ever wonder why it was one of the biggest hit among television reality shows? May be because people are interested in knowing personal information of celebrities, or may be people are interested in watching celebrities getting humiliated or may be every one knows that none of us can claim that "we always speak truth, we have never kept anything secret or private from our near ones and we will never lie even though we have everything on stake".

How many can confidently come forward and claim that they have never lied? I haven't met a single human being on this earth who has not lied in his/her entire life. We get a call and we are not in good mood so we don't pick up the phone saying it was either on silent or it was not with me. We don't realize but with technology becoming integral part of our life we are lying at each and every second with someone or other. We are in fact lying to our own self.

Sach ka Samna would be one of the worst reality show on television according to me but I think by watching that show made me realize how we are lying for some unnecessary stuffs, where in fact if we can speak truth we could have been in better situation. We are actually addicted and are more or less dependent on giving excuses and lying to our own self and people who are close to us. We lie to our self, our parents, our friends, our college/office mates, our siblings and to each and everyone. Most of the sales man lie about their products (they had to other wise who will feed their family), politicians make fake promises and give excuses, celebrities advertise the brands that they would have never owned (exception is always there, Shah Rukh Khan owns the brands he promotes). Rich people lie because they cannot reveal their property or they are used to lying because that made them rich and common people lie because they need to match up with those rich guys because they also dream of buying Mercedes and BMW.

The point is, if we can realize the way we lie in our life we can improve on it. But the toughest part is that we are not able to realize where and when we are lying, it has become the part of our daily routine and we will keep on doing it unless our conscious does not realize it. And realizing is near to impossible because we are used to it or in other word addicted.

Today we are so very much addicted that we say "Agar kisi ke bhale ke liye juth bola gaya ho to use juth nahi kehte (if we lie for betterment of others, it is not called lie)". But the fact is that we lie only to avoid trouble in our life. We are in habit of getting everything in shortcut and that is why we think if by lying once or twice we can maintain our relationship, our job, our security, our status, etc. what's wrong in it. The fact is we don't just lie for one or two time but we keep on doing it for our entire life and to hide one lie we make deliberate act to deviate from it many times and it never stops.

It is a high time we realize and do something to face the truth so that we don't have to face any such reality show in future that has to make us realize to be honest.
